What’s new in API version 21

Last update: Thu Feb 05 2026 00:00:00 GMT+0000 (Coordinated Universal Time)

CREATED FOR:

  • Developer
IMPORTANT
This API version change features a breaking change that may affect your existing API calls. This is due to the fact that API version 21 uses Event Subscriptions version 2.
For multi-select fields, Event Subsscriptions version 2 always sends as an array. Version 1 sent an array if more than one value selected. If only one value was selected, it sent a string.

Adobe Workfront released API version 21 on October 23, 2025. API version 21 features the following changes from version 20.
